APPLYING FOR COLLEGE CERTIFICATES
Please keep track of your individual subject completions and apply to the
Records Office when you believe you are eligible for certification.
AUDIT
Auditing a course means you may attend class and receive instructions but
are otherwise free from completing class assignments, tests or formal evaluation.
Please make this request at the time of registration. Normal course fees
will apply. The grade “Audit” will appear on your transcript.
BOOKSTORE
Unless otherwise noted, the course fees shown in this publication do not
include the cost of text books and other course material.
Most theory courses require texts. You can purchase these via our
bookstores. We pre-order a sufficient number of books prior to the start of
your class but cannot predict last-minute registrations. It is helpful if you
register for your course well in advance of the start date to assist with these
arrangements.

NAME CHANGE

PRIOR LEARNING ASSESSMENT AND RECOGNITION
Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is based on the premise
that many adults acquire skills and knowledge through work experience;
community, home and volunteer activities; training programs; non-college
and independent study and travel and leisure activities. The PLAR system
evaluates this learning and relates it to formal courses and programs at
educational institutions. Using PLAR, adult candidates who can demonstrate
or document that they have achieved the learning outcomes of a given
course, may be given formal college credit. It may save you time and money
to examine whether or not you would qualify for such credit. For further
information, contact the Registrar’s Office at 705-749-5530 x1131.
